Who all has used the Asus P5B Deluxe?

That board was absolutely loved around here last year. Lots of you guys must still be running with that. If you found the board for a song today...would you still build with it? I have a build that has the "vanilla" P5B and couldn't be happier. (But for a Grant, I'm thinkin' about grabbing it for a future build as I can flash the BIOS to 1333.) I know that some good boards can be had these days for better prices (comparatively) as to a year ago, when these were so hot around here. For some reason, Dave M's past advise of "Computers being like fresh fish" is ringing in my ears. What do you guys think?

I'm more of a P35 fan now. The 965 is showing its age. I just built with a P5K Pro and I'm very pleased.

If you can get a P5B for a song, I'd use it for a budget build with a 1066 bus or lower single or dual core processor.

I think I'll pick it up and do a build. Have most other components already so... next person who needs a decent build will do real well. Thanks glc.
